Description

Your breath is the gateway to a universe of unlimited proportions that lies within. This is the premise of Your Breathing Body, Reggie Ray’s landmark two-volume breathwork curriculum. Appropriate for everyone from beginning meditators to advanced practitioners, Volume 1 includes 10 CDs of sequential instruction in basic practices drawn from Tibetan yoga, qigong, Zen, Theravada Buddhism, and indigenous traditions. Listeners join Reggie Ray as he combines his renowned scholarship with nearly four decades of practicing and teaching meditation to explore Earth breathing, threefold breathing, cellular breathing, “ten-points practice,” and much more. “Your breath is far more than just air moving in and out of the body,” explains Reggie Ray. “It is the pathway to everything you need for full realization.” With Your Breathing Body, this esteemed teacher gives us the ultimate breakthrough course–gentle, safe, and extraordinarily effective–for transforming our mental, physical, and emotional lives.I purchased this course about a week ago. It is very good and worth downloading if you are into meditation and/or breathwork. ————————————————————————————————–Customer Reviews By Rich M Date Added: Sunday 11 January 2009 … I think that Reggie and his students (of which I am not formally one) have a lot of integrity and are holding off from publicly praising their own work/teacher. So…allow me. I cherish these CD’s. Part of me is tempted to call this work a “Fourth Turning of the Wheel,” but I know that is really just looking at the first three “turnings (especially the third)” through different lenses in order to allow for the full embodiment of the wisdom already buried in these teachings. This bridging of buddhist philosophy and sensitivity to the somatic-experiential has been–for me, anyway–the perfect medicine. Of course I cannot say how it would resonate with anyone else. First I have listened to the 20 CD’s (10 in volume #1 and 10 in Volume #2) sequentially, over the course of three weeks, in the evening after work as kind of a home retreat. Each one has a dharma talk and then a guided exercise. I enjoyed doing this just to get the lay of the land. Now I am going back and working with them more slowly and deeply. Certain exercises have jumped out as being particularly fruitful for me. I have worked with a lot of body/mind techniques and philosophies…straight Zen and Vipassana meditation, Taoist meditation and chi kung, shamanic journeying, etc.–and have benefitted greatly from all of them. But, Reggie seems to really get where a lot of westerners are now–that is, very good at thinking about their bodies, but not very good at feeling them. I’m coming to realize how much that describes me as well, and am having pretty profound results using the techniques he offers. His book, Touching Enlightenment, has also become a source of many insights and inspirations for me. To sum up, I would say that I think Reggie has described a kind of “blind spot” in the spiritual lives of many contemporary practitioners–mainly about the body being a neglected yet essential starting point for the cultivation of awareness of any kind. Buddhist tradition is by no means mum about this blind spot, it’s just that many people have not looked at it with the lenses that would allow them to truly mine the riches that are available there. Reggie goes straight to this place, and I can only say that it resonates with me and that I have benefitted from it greatly. I am deeply grateful and obviously would recommend it highly to others. ——————————————————————————————–The MP3s are ripped at 256K. All guided exercises are in FLAC format.
